1 PM: Can I add generic Benadryl to this cocktail, or is that just courting disaster?

I should have gone to med school. In any case, I should probably eat something. Nothing sounds good. I wonder if that’s an indication that the mystery fever has returned. Blerg.

Sick sucks. I pray it’s just pressure, not a sinus infection. Antibiotics and wine are usually mutually exclusive, and the cork wouldn’t fit back in the bottle last night. That would be a waste of 2/3 a bottle of a rather decent Merlot. I need some of those fancy re-corkers. Ooh, I do have a decanter. That’ll work. Genius, I say, genius. That was actually Mike’s idea, but we both failed to execute it. Okay, whine over. I hope.

Perhaps…usually a glass and a half isn’t headache-inducing for me, but I guess there’s a lot of variation between wines, so it’s always a chance you take trying a new one. If it’s going to last that long I’ll have time to experiment with various OTCs until I find the right one or combination, I guess. Yucky.
